Peter Moore is taking up the CEO position at Liverpool FC, moving away from a career in video games that began with Sega at the time of the Dreamcast and took in high-profile tenures at Microsoft and EA. The news came via Liverpool Football Club in the immediate aftermath of its defeat to reigning Premier League Champions Leicester City, stating that Moore would be joining the club in the summer. Moore, born in Liverpool, has been a lifelong fan of the club, and will be taking over the position from Ian Ayre.
EA issued its own response, wishing Moore well for his future endeavours. "Passion is essential for all of us at Electronic Arts," wrote EA CEO Andrew Wilson in the official statement. "It's what gets us up in the morning and drives us to do extraordinary things. And if you've ever met Peter Moore, you know that he quite literally wears his passion for Liverpool FC on his sleeve. So it's with great excitement that we congratulate Peter on following his dream to become the next CEO of his beloved Liverpool Football Club."
